REACTIVITY OF TETRA-4(4-METHOXYPHENOXY)-PHTHALOCYANINE IN ACID-BASE INTERACTION WITH NITROGEN CONTAINING ORGANIC BASES

Interaction of tetra-4(4-methoxyphenoxy)phthalocyanine with pyridine, 2-methylpyridine, morpholine, piperidine, n-butylamine, tert-butylamine, diethylamine, and triethylamine in benzene and the benzene-dimethylsulfoxide system is studied. The acid-base interaction reaction belongs to the number of unusually slow processes and leads to the formation of time-stable complexes with proton transfer. Their structure is proposed. The change of reactivity of tetra-4(4-methoxyphenoxy)phthalo-cyanine depending on the polarity of the medium, proton acceptor ability, and spatial structure of the nitrogen-containing base is considered.
